    WHAT IS THE ATHEIST EXPERIENCE?
    The Atheist Experience is a weekly call-in television show in Austin, Texas geared at a non-atheist audience. The Atheist Experience is produced by the Atheist Community of Austin.
    The Atheist Community of Austin is organized as a nonprofit educational corporation to develop and support the atheist community, to provide opportunities for socializing and friendship, to promote secular viewpoints, to encourage positive atheist culture, to defend the first amendment principle of state-church separation, to oppose discrimination against atheists and to work with other organizations in pursuit of common goals.
    We define atheism as the lack of belief in gods. This definition also encompasses what most people call agnosticism.

    McGruber says he wants the conversation, but his actions say otherwise. He's gone into this discussion with a fiat declaration that not only are Matt and JMike wrong about what they personally believe, they are actively lying to everyone about it, and nothing anyone can say can convince McGruber otherwise.
    That's not a conversation, that's talking at or past someone.

    • @rawmaterials3909
      @rawmaterials3909 2 года назад +17

      exactly. the point is, if the revelation is an absolute, perfect and maximal truth, it should be clear to everyone from the first day of their life, like embedded in the conscience itself, and no skepticism could be strong enough to refuse or "suppress" it.
      An example I often use: if I say "Super Mario is a videogame from Nintendo", noone in the world will be able to argue. Everyone will agree that he has a mustache, he wears a red cap, he jumps on blocks, etc. IF someone doesn't know about Mario, all I have to do is make him/her watch or play the game and my statement will become clear as the sky in no time with no effort.
      Can someone do the same thing with god? No. Reality shows that nobody agrees on god's characteristics on any level.
      The conclusion? Super Mario's "truth" is stronger than god's.

      Fairy tales?

      The religious cult of atheism is INFAMOUS the world over for having ZERO ANSWERS. That's because atheism RUNS from "reality." I would add that as an atheist, you're bankrupt of RATIONAL/POSSIBLE causes for life, intelligence, consciousness, morality and ALL the co-existent bodily systems (circulatory, respiratory, reproductive, pulmonic, digestive, skeletal, muscular, nervous, body (skin), etc., etc.) intertwined in co-dependent order in the human body.
      Atheism has no RATIONAL/POSSIBLE, step by step atheist explanation for reality. That’s because there isn’t one. THINK ABOUT what you’re getting into w/ the cult of atheism. GET OUT NOW. I’ll help you find truth. Atheism has none.

      Religious fanatics are different than fantasy fans in a few important respects though:
      First, no sane Star Trek, Star Wars, Harry Potter or LOTR fan thinks any of those fantasy stories are real. Second, the people who write, film and produce those books, movies and TV shows have to pay taxes when they take money for their work. Third, politicians aren't forced to pledge belief and devotion to the Jedi High Council, the Order of the Phoenix, the Kingdom of Gondor or the Klingon Empire in order to get elected. Fourth, none of the fans of the franchises you mentioned are voting or passing laws based on their fantasy while trying to impose their obsessive fandom on everyone else. Fifth, none of those film and literature fans are claiming righteous superiority, judging other humans, threatening end-times armageddon, blowing themselves up, killing innocent civilians or starting pointless, bloody wars in the name of the creatively fictional franchises you mentioned.
      Religious fanatics do some version of all those horrible things. Other than that, I agree completely.

    In Canada we have this thing called 'Cabin Fever', where someone who has spent far too long in isolation develop strange mental conditions. For example, some start believing that the trees talk to them. Others just become unhinged and believe they are the leader of the entire world.
    Cabin Fever generally appears during or after a long winter, so it is early right now in September, but MacGruber appears to have already succumbed to the condition.
    I apologize to all for his ramblings, and remind you that Canada does have excellent health care - hopefully his relatives will see that he gets what he needs, as soon as the snow drifts that have isolated him disappear.

      @@tnyw872621h8474h9 It's not intended as an argument, because presuppositionalists are not making an argument to answer with an argument, and have no interest in arguing. They simply make a declaration that they are right and have to be right because they say they are right. There's no point in engaging in any debate with them, any more than there's any point in debating a rock or a tree. Their main thrill is watching you flounder around trying to answer them so they can walk away triumphantly without having to demonstrate anything. So might as well head them off with your own "presuppositions" and at least deprive them of their thrill. It's equivalent to responding to a Three-card Monty trickster by pulling out a deck of cards and telling him you'll play his game if he wins YOUR Three-card Monty.

      @@tnyw872621h8474h9 That is NOT an argument. It's just an assertion. There is no evidence given whatsoever that a God is the necessary precondition for knowledge, ethics or "transcendentals". There is no reason to accept this assertion. Zero. It's just an assertion based on absolutely nothing. And it "works" in the same way any other arbitrary proclamation does: "Vishnu's protection of dharma is necessary for the existence of knowlege and the cosmic order, therefore Vishnu exists." "A supernatural realm of demons is necessary for knowledge and ethics to exist, therefore the supernatural realm of demons, commanded by Shubshub Mekapura, exists." "Without female shamans connecting us to the spirit world, there is no way for us to have knowledge or make moral choices, therefore female shamans are connected to the spirit world" "If our ancestors are not revered and allowed to guide us through supernatural means, then there can be no wisdom and the upholding of righteousness and the moral disposition to do good cannot exist, therefore we must revere our ancestors and ignore gods." You have not made any argument whatsoever. Like these other examples, you have just made an arbitrary declaration without anything even resembling an argument. The word "transcendental" is nothing but gibberish, a claim that things are somehow magical and unaccountable to reason, and this cannot be an element of a reasoned argument. It's use just means that you are abandoning reason. You are just pretending. Your religious beliefs have nothing whatsoever to do with reason and are not determined by any arguments. You merely pretend to use arguments to justify something you already believe and for which you will not be convinced otherwise by any argument. It is merely a pretense of using reason and making arguments, like holding out your arms and saying "swoosh" while pretending to be flying a jet plane.
